Math Homework

-There is math homework in 4th grade. 

-For the first several weeks, the math homework is reviewing multiplication facts. Once we've gotten those mastered, we will move onto the normal math homework. There are three different options available:

1. Students can play the math game of the week at home with a family member. All games require very few materials: mostly dice or a deck of cards. If there is a game board (piece of paper), the students can bring that back to me completed so I can see it's been done, OR it can just be written in their assignment books that the math game has been complete.

2. The second option is on the computer: Zearn or Khan Academy. If you choose the computer option, the requirement is 30 minutes per week. Again, these math homework minutes can be written in the assignment book.

3. The third option is paper homework: this would be similar worksheets to what we complete in class. Again, if you choose this option, please ensure your child completes roughly 30 minutes each week.

Let me know if you have any questions about this!

*Students are to read 50 minutes a week. The number of minutes and pages read can be recorded in the assignment book. The week starts on Monday and ends on the following Sunday.  It is their choice how many minutes to read each night, just as long as the total is 50 minutes by the end of the week. We will begin this our first full week of school. 

*Students should play the weekly math game with a parent or older sibling for math homework. If you opted for an alternative method, such as Zearn or paper homework, please ensure your child completes 30 minutes of math work, which is roughly equivalent to the time spent playing the math game.

*Please sign the assignment book daily.

*If you would like to come to lunch, please call the office before noon the day before.  We will only be accepting 7 visitors for each lunch due to space.

*Please send a note if a student brings cough drops to school.

*Please send a note if you know your student will be missing a day of school.
